           Summary: Digikam should try to reconnect to camera after the
                    connection has expired
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: radobukoci nextra sk


Version:           0.9.2-final (using KDE 3.5.7, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i486-slackware-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.21.5-smp

If I leave the Camera window not used for a long time, the connection  "expires" (probably because the camera turns itself off). If I want to perform some actions then (e.g. delete or download some images), I get only message saying that digikam cannot connect to the camera. I have to close the window and open it again (from Camera menu), which takes long because digikam reads all the contents of the camera again.

In this case, digikam could ask if I want to reconnect, and try it (but not re-reading the content), and then perform desired action (like deleting or downloading images).
